Debbies Landscape Block

When I received Debbie H.'s landscape block I immediately thought Saguaro cactus! It has colors that lend themselves to a beautiful desert landscape. Karrin's tree reminded me of those beautiful Ponderosa pines! So this block has went southwest. All the way to the Sonora Desert! That is where I got all my inspiration from is the pictures of the Sonora Desert. I googled them and the rest is history for this block!

I wish I could do more but it needs to go to the next person! I added the stitching around the desert floor and little desert pond. I also added the Saguaro Cactus of course! The little flowering vine. This plant can be seen in the Sonora Desert of course! BTW the Sonora Desert has hundreds of beautiful flowers to choose from! Also added the beads of which I am passing on to the next people on the list to use if needed!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
